Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem anymore on the computer it originally happened (on my other computer it never happened).
I noticed that I compiled with -pg which seems to be the reason for the profiling signals that might prevent fork() to succeed. So if someone else has the same problem, removing -pg from the compilation might be sufficient to fix the problem. Thank you for the support!
